Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 16 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced thick
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.75 cup sweet Marsala wine
  • 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Whisk
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. Layer Ingredients: Lightly grease the slow cooker. Lay the chicken breasts flat on the bottom. Top evenly with sliced mushrooms and minced garlic.
  2. Add Liquids: Pour the Marsala wine and chicken broth over the top. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours (or high for 3 to 4 hours) until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Thicken Sauce: 30 minutes before serving, whisk the cornstarch and cold water together until smooth. Stir the slurry and the heavy cream into the slow cooker.
  5. Finish: Turn the cooker to high and leave uncovered for 20 minutes until the sauce thickens. Garnish with parsley and serve over noodles.

Notes

  • If substituting chicken thighs, cooking times remain the same but the meat will be richer.
  • Do not freeze leftovers, as the cream sauce will separate.
